妙法蓮華經玄贊 5.37

5.37

Eulogy: Below, the five and a half verses sighing over losing the great Dharma are divided into two parts: the first three and a half verses are the great Dharma that was lost, and the subsequent two verses clarify his own sighing. Within the first, there are again two parts: the first two verses are the virtues of internal and external adornment, and the subsequent one and a half verses are the lofty and vast virtues of fame and benefit. Within the first, there are again two: the first single verse is the virtue of possessing the marks and subduing māras, and the subsequent single verse is the virtue of perfection of secondary marks and uniqueness. This is the first. 'The thirty-two golden-colored [marks]' refers to the Buddha's body having the color of purple-burnished gold.
